Overview

Your Follett 6102 Cordless Scanner is a two dimensional (2D) linear-imaging scanner. The 2D feature allows the device to scan regular one dimensional (1D) barcodes from any orientation, allowing for faster checkout times and great ease of use. The 2D feature also allows the scanner to interpret 2D and QR type barcodes, even from the screens of smartphones or tablets. This scanner is pre-loaded with Follett School Solutions firmware for optimal performance reading Follett Classic barcodes and working with your Destiny system.

This quick reference guide details how to install your 6102 scanner and optimize it to your preferred method of scanning.
